Access Control System Upgrade

Contract Sum: UndisclosedClient: International Legal CompanyLocation: City of London

Challenge

To move the client to a web based access control solution which would allow a rollout of the new system amounting to access control for over 250 doors over eight global sites, using a single card for each staff member.

Solution

After a market appraisal Sateon Enterprise from Grosvenor Technology was chosen for the replacement access control system. One of the major advantages being Sateon is fully browser based providing ease of access from anywhere on the client’s network, without the need for additional proprietary software being installed on any PCs.

End Result

With careful planning and initial database configuration carried out by our highly experienced engineering team, the existing cardholders, access groups and time zones were migrated into the new Sateon Enterprise database. This then allowed for a simple switch over to the new system without the need for time consuming re-entry of the existing cardholder information by the client’s team for the corporate London Head Office building.

The system was then rolled out to the client’s other buildings around the world providing web based access control management of the system for the entire business. Local user login accounts allow local site specific administration of the system without visibility of the rest of the system.

The system also provides integration to visitor management, follow-me-printing, lockers and cashless vending all from one single card.
